Equations like E=mc^2 and stuff like how the force og gravity becomes 1/4 as strong when the distance between the objects dobles. Similarly with braking distance with cars, double the speed and the braking distance quadruples. These all seem to fit so well.
Have we made math to fit so nicely with physics? Am I thinking of all this wrong? Since I feel it like it would be to big of a coincidense that we can so easily use equations to predic physics. What is actually the reason for this?
In: Mathematics
Math is simply an incredibly complex and internally-consistent arrangement of patterns. In fact, any pattern that can exist can seemingly be somehow replicated via math.
This means that we can recreate almost any pattern we find in our universe using math. Once we have recreated a pattern in math, we can use that to make other predictions about the universe.
